<p>GATOR FANS LISTEN UP:</p>
<p>Bowls come out officially at 8 p.m. but I have already figured out the Gators are in the game!</p>
<p>Below is the link to the official BCS merchandise shop. It shows Va Tech vs. Penn State for the Orange Bowl and Florida vs. Oklahoma for the national title game:</p>

<p>sent the last text to you because you seem to understand football.. putting all biases asisde. just to break down a game properly.</p>
<p>I&#39;m a Tide fan but knew they would need Wilson to make some plays and the secondary to cover extremely well. Those two things did not happen and the result was expected.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to a different Alabama QB next year.</p>AlexFAU06 commented on 'FINAL: Get ready, South Beach.

I noticed another interesting thing with the box scores related to Tebow. I have observed this all season. Tebow&#39;s name is always mentioned first in the scoring summary for passing touchdowns, in contrast the quarterbacks for other schools are always mentioned after the receiver. Example: USC-Williams 12 yard pass from Sanchez, UF-Tebow 5 yard pass to Cooper.<br />
Hmmm...very interesting...can you say propaganda</p>Adam S. commented on 'FINAL: Get ready, South Beach.

<p>How do you all think Florida and OU match up?</p>
<p>I don&#39;t think OU has the D to stop Florida but I do think Florida will slow down OU. It reminds me of last years SB, the Giants won it with ball control scoring and D. </p>

<p>1. You are right about JPW. Julio Jones is responsible for all of his success this year. That and, the guy has some balls, stepping into a few hits from our guys just to get throws off.</p>
<p>2. Agreed again...but their secondary was 10x better than what we&#39;ll se vs. OU.</p>
<p>Not sure why your post was direct to me...but I like it! Go Gators.<br />

<p>The spread was exactly what I thought... I had Florida scoring 5 times and Alabama scoring 4 times... with Florida winning by 11 (35-24).</p>
<p>Couple of things decided the game which did not surprise.</p>
<p>1. John Parker Wilson is not a good QB. He was never good or consistent throughout his entire college career. They talk about &#39;Bama&#39;s offense being &quot;methodical&quot;... but the Tide ALWAYS has good skill people. All they needed was a QB to deliver the ball properly and not get scared every time there is a pass play.</p>
<p>2. The &#39;Bama secondary was not horrible... but they do not have the cover guys necessary to play shut down pass defense. The 1992, 1996 and 2005 teams had much better secondaries and they needed those kinds of cover people in this SEC title game.</p>
<p>Overall, good and competitive game and Tebow showed he is tough once again. I like when QB&#39;s play a tough game without fumbling or throwing interceptions...</p>
<p>Tebow played like a stud... Wilson like a dud.</p>MiamiGator commented on 'FINAL: Get ready, South Beach.

Bama was getting no push on either side of the ball as they were toast. The Pounceys were shoving Cody around. He was rendered useless. When JPW started running for his life on every play, we all knew it was over. Huge props to UF&#39;s D for being just flat out tougher in the end.</p>
<p> UF was more physical than the most physical team in the country. Finesse my ASS ! </p>

<p>Don&#39;t forget, OU has a great O but look what they&#39;re competing against. Aside from having a top defense in the nation, we also the best special teams and, oh yeah, Percy Harvin (healthy in 2 weeks) and Tim Tebow.</p>

I&#39;m a U fan, and I wasn&#39;t a believer in Florida until they beat Fla ST. and Bama. Well, Florida beat them both so I just want to give them props! They looked better than I though they would and I do think they will beat OU. OU has a great O but a great D always beat a great O. I enjoy debating with you all <br />
(especially Adam S.), but Florida has proven that they are a great team that is going to win the NC. From a big U fan, good luck in Miami! </p>Drew commented on 'FINAL: Get ready, South Beach.

<p>Steven...way to go on the Chuck Norris line.</p>
<p>UFGator72...arrogance only goes so far. For Ohio State and us fans, we learned our lesson thrice. I&#39;d advise Florida to watch out for Oklahoma. They&#39;re just as dangerous on both sides of the ball, if not more so on offense. I don&#39;t think outscoring will be an option.</p>

<p>Idiot, all of Zook&#39;s players are gone except for a few (redshirt seniors) and if you know anything about Florida the majority of the players are Juniors, Sophomores and Juniors (All Meyer&#39;s).</p>
<p>Meyer&#39;s overall record is better than Saban&#39;s. Head to head, Meyer 1 Saban 0.</p>
<p>Florida has more overall talent than Alabama. Cody was not a factor during the game. Did you see what Spikes did to your All-America offensive lineman?</p>

<p>Talent advantage- Alabama.<br />
You guys have Tebow but after that, who else? Not to mention the fact that you haven&#39;t faced a team this big and physical since your days of being UM and FSU&#39;s doormat.</p>
<p>Tradition- Forget about it. It took UF over a hundred years to win 2 titles, therefore none of you current Gayturd fans will live to see them win 2 more lol! It&#39;s funny how you guys trust to walk with your chest out after finally stepping from behind Miami and Fsu&#39;s shadow, like you own college football.
